Is there a way to make an mpeg or avi movie of my waveform chart

[trey]

I am using Labview 5.1 and I want to make a movie of my waveform chart of my data. Maybe mpeg or avi. Is there a way to do this?

You could print your chart to different graphic archives and then use a third party program to create a movie, but if you want to create the movie programatically, perhaps LabVIEW paint? toolkit could fix this.

The best way of doing this that I've found is to use a freeware program from www.shareware.com called SnagIt. Snagit will take snapshots of your screen, window, or area of your screen, as well as make an .avi of your screen, window, or area of screen. If you set the area to your graph, you can create an .avi of it. That's the best and quickest method (with no programming).

Try Microsoft Camcorder (available in the Office97 Value Pack, and possibly elsewhere) It makes an AVI of anything on your screen.

I do not know direct way to do this in LabVIEW I am using also Matlab.

I am collecting just every n-th scan of my plot in an array and then save it as a spreadsheet file. Next I am using Matlab to plot it and save all plots as an avi.
